Abstract

The use and acceptance of expert evidence and opinions in Shariah Courts in Malaysia remain limited compared to Civil Courts. This issue arises because cases in Shariah Courts are often considered less complex in terms of facts and law, reducing the perceived need for expert involvement. However, there is a growing necessity to recognize the role of experts, especially in cases involving technical issues such as forensic science, medicine, paternity determination, and others. This study employs a comparative analysis methodology, examining the legal provisions within the Shariah Evidence Enactment and the Evidence Act 1950, alongside case studies from both Shariah and Civil Courts, to evaluate how expert evidence is received and utilized. The research applies comparative analysis and content analysis methods. Findings show that while the Shariah Evidence Enactment provides for the role of experts, its implementation remains limited due to vague provisions and the lack of recognition of a broader category of experts. This results in a lack of openness in accepting technical evidence, which could assist judges in making more accurate decisions. Therefore, this article recommends reforms by amending the provisions in the Shariah Court Evidence Enactment. These reforms will enable a clearer and broader acceptance of expert evidence, thus enhancing justice in the trial process within Shariah Courts
